Absolutely stunning images, and great storytelling to boot. What was the lens that you used the most during your holiday? I'm thinking about investing in an X-T2 with a 18-55 kit lens, but it seems some of your greatest shots came from the 16mm or 10-24mm. Am I right?

Thanks for the kind words! For lenses, I brought with me 10-24, 12mm rokinon, 23F2, 16F1.4, and the XC50-230. My favourite lens is the 16MM, but I want to be objective in my answer to you, so I tallied the lenses used above.

The results are as follows:

1. (tie) 23F2 was used in 13 images

1. (tie) XC50-230 was used in 13 images (surprised!)

3. 16F1.4 was used in 6 images

4. 10-24 was used in 2 images

While I love the 16MM, I did have to force myself to use it some days; in the end, it appears the size and weight advantage of the new 23F2 seems to have won out.

What's surprised me is:

1)IQ of the images with the 50-230, that is one underrated lens, I don't see what you gain with the 50-200 other than maybe an ever so faster lens.

2)General iq all round you have got is very impressive, I wonder what I am doing wrong lol.

I do wonder if the zeiss 12 2.8 might be a better option than the 10-24 as its faster hits a nice wide angle at 18mm and is small and light, could that replace both the 16 and 10-24 based on the above. I do wonder if the 12, 23, 50-230 is an ultimate travel light set now. Certainly more flexible than just the 18-135, which I like, but with so many keepers with the 23 and 50-230 its hard to argue against them. Maybe the 35,2 or new 50,2 might also be worthy additions to your night set too? I am going to grab a 50-230, they are very cheap.
